Certification Regarding Eligibility
To Apply for Worker Adjustment Assistance

In accordance with Section 223 of the Trade Act of 1974, as
amended ("Act"), 19 U.S.C. § 2273, the Department of Labor
herein presents the results of an investigation regarding
certification of eligibility to apply for worker adjustment
assistance.
The group eligibility requirements for workers at the
Government and Public Safety, a business unit of Motorola Inc.,
Schaumburg, Illinois, under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C.
§ 2272(a), are satisfied if the following criteria are met:
I. The first criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(1) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(1)) requires that a significant
number or proportion of the workers in the workers' firm
must have become totally or partially separated or be
threatened with total or partial separation.

II. The second criterion (set forth in Section 222(a)(2) of the
Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a)(2)) may be satisfied if either:

(i)(I) there has been a shift by the workers' firm to a
foreign country in the production of articles or
supply of services like or directly competitive with
those produced/supplied by the workers' firm; or
(i)(II) there has been an acquisition from a foreign
country by the workers' firm of articles/services that
are like or directly competitive with those
produced/supplied by the workers' firm.

III. The third criterion requires that the shift/acquisition
must have contributed importantly to the workers'
separation or threat of separation. See Section
222(a)(2)(B)(ii) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. §
2272(a)(2)(B)(ii).

The investigation was initiated in response to a petition
filed on August 21, 2009 on behalf of workers of Motorola Inc.,
Government and Public Safety (G&PS) Division, Schaumburg,
Illinois. The workers are engaged in the production of
government and public safety telecommunication equipment,
including power amplifiers and radio equipment. Workers are not
separately identifiable by product lines. The worker group
includes leased workers from Kelly Management Solutions.
The investigation revealed that workers of the subject
firm, who are engaged in activities related to the production
of government and public safety telecommunication equipment,
meet the following criteria for certification.
Criterion I has been met because a significant number or
portion of workers were separated during the period under
investigation.
Criterion II has been met because the subject firm is
shifting production of government and public safety
telecommunication equipment to an affiliated facility in
Mexico.
Criterion III has been met because the shift of
production by the subject firm contributed importantly to
worker group separations at the subject facility.
Conclusion
After careful review of the facts obtained in the
investigation, I determine that workers of Motorola Inc.,
Government and Public Safety (G&PS) Division, including on-
site leased workers from Kelly Management Solutions,
Schaumburg, Illinois who are engaged in employment related to
the production of government and public safety
telecommunication equipment meet the worker group certification
criteria under Section 222(a) of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2272(a).
In accordance with Section 223 of the Act, 19 U.S.C. § 2273, I
make the following certification:
"All workers of Motorola Inc., Government and Public Safety
(G&PS) Division, including on-site leased workers from
Kelly Management Solutions, Schaumburg, Illinois who
became totally or partially separated from employment on or
after August 20, 2008, through two years from the date of
certification, and all workers in the group threatened with
total or partial separation from employment on date of
certification through two years from the date of
certification, are eligible to apply for adjustment
assistance under Chapter 2 of Title II of the Trade Act of
1974, as amended."
Signed in Washington, D.C., this 4th day of November 2009
